IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Cent Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Or 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 30, 1884 The Anaheim public school will reopen on Monday, and it is hoped that all the pupils will be in prompt attendance. The Orangethorpe school will also convene on Monday. The election in the Orange thorpe district on Tuesday to vote upon the question of raising a tax of $500 for repairs on the school house resulted in the defeat of the proposition, there being five votes for the tax and six against it. This result is remarkable from the fact that in the many elections held in school districts in this county during the past few years to raise a tax it is said the tax levy was always carried. Anaheim has this year thrown off the political difference which has heretofore characterized it, and is reaching forward for some of the loaves and fishes. Never having heeded the injunction contained in the words, "Ask and ye shall receive," it has not hitherto fared well during the distribution of favors. Now that it asks may it not hope to receive the things it yearns for? Its request is modest enough in all conscience. It merely asks that the supervisor from the fifth district be chosen from among its own people. There is a decided disposition here to sink politics in this supervisorial matter, and rally unanimously to the support of any capable man, whether he be a follower of Blaine, Cleveland, St. John, Butler, Pomeroy or any other candidate for president. The Anaheim Democrats have centered upon W. M. Bailey as their candidate for supervisor, and his claims will be strongly pushed in the convention. He is a good man and would make a good supervisor. In deference to the desire of the business community, the Western Union Telegraph company has decided to remove the telegraph office from the depot to town. Arrangements have been perfected for opening the office for the transaction of business on in this supervisorial matter, and rally unanimously to the support of any capable man, whether he be a follower of Blaine, Cleveland, St. John, Butler, Pomeroy or any other candidate for president. The Anaheim Democrats have centered upon W. M. Bailey as their candidate for supervisor, and his claims will be strongly pushed in the convention. He is a good man and would make a good supervisor. In deference to the desire of the business community, the Western Union Telegraph company has decided to remove the telegraph office from the depot to town. Arrangements have been perfected for opening the office for the transaction of business on Monday next in the new postoffice. This will prove a great convenience to those who require the use of the telegraph and a decided improvement upon the system that necessitated a journey to the depot to file a telegram for transmission, and a corresponding delay in the delivery of the messages in town. To everyone conversant with the facts, it is well known that Anaheim soil is peculiarly adapted to the production of the grape in its most perfect development. Of this the veriest doubter would be convinced by an examination of samples at this office which were grown by L. Schorn. The zinfandels show a fullness of growth and richness of quality that surprise even those who are accustomed to the abnormal productions of our vine lands. The mail stage that connects with the trains on the Anaheim branch of the Southern Pacific railroad, in the darkness of the night on Tuesday last, capsized between San Mateo and Los Flores. The coach was demolished, both horses killed and the driver named Bates, seriously if not fatally, injured. Bates was removed to San Luis Rey, where he is now lying in a critical condition. Report is in circulation upon the authority of a detective, that evidence has been obtained, plainly proved that the Tehachepi disaster was the result of the criminal intent of six men for the purpose of ditching the train for robbery. This being true, the authorities and the railroad officials would seem guilty of an unperformed duty. Sanchez Garcia and an indefinite quantity of aguadiente combined to create a nuisance on Wednesday evening to the annoyance of the public peace, resulting in the arrest of Garcia by Officer Bohn. Upon his promise to leave town and reform, sentence was suspended by Justice Bailey. L. F. Searle for camping purposes took possession of a vacant lot belonging to H. Kroeger. In a state of intoxication his bedding took fire endangering the adjacent property. Refusing to obey the order to move camp he was arrested by officer Bohn and brought before Judge Bailey who discharged him with reprimand. F. A. Gates and son, who for some years past have manufactured syrup from sorgum cane grown on their farm in Garden Grove this year rented a tract in North Anaheim and planted cane, got a splendid growth and are now at work making syrup which they find is far better than that made from cane grown on soil containing alkili. Anyone desiring to witness the interesting process of syrup making will find their furnances at work every day on the tract east of Hr. Tuffee's Buena Vista rancho. In August 1875 eighty acres along the village of Villa Park his own hands and in the L. J.

Gates and son, who for some years past have manufactured syrup from sorgum cane grown on their farm in Garden Grove this year rented a tract in North Anaheim and planted cane, got a splendid growth and are now at work making syrup which they find is far better than that made from cane grown on soil containing alkili. Anyone desiring to witness the interesting process of syrup making will find their furnances at work every day on the tract east of Hr. Tuffee’s Buena Vista rancho. J. Y. Anderson of Westminster, the only other extensive grower of sorgum, is also making syrup, and reports a good crop and a good quality. The much litigated Temescal tin mine, which by value, is without a doubt a property of enormous value, is again in the hands of lawyers, a suit before the master in chancery being in progress in Los Angeles. A settlement of the title followed by an energetic development of the property would result in an industry that wouldastonish the mining world. The announcement of George E. Gard, who is a candidate for the republican nomination for sheriff is made today. Mr. Gard is the best detective that has ever been connected with the sheriff’s office in this county, and he has all the other necessary qualifications for a first-class officer. London is still too good to allow restaurants to be open on Sunday so that the stranger within her gates whose lodging mistress does not feed him and who has no club privileges must fast. J. E. Pleasants, whose rancho is located in Shewsbury canyon, about eighteen miles from Anaheim, has extracted during the present season over nine tons of honey, the product of the industry of seventy-six stands of bees, and it is of exceptionally fine quality. H. Cahen was called suddenly to Arrowhead Springs, San Bernardino county, on Wednesday, to see his brother who had become ill. Sepulveda, late Judge, now a resident of the city of Mexico is the father of a son named Francisco Juan Carrillo Iturbide Tying Sepulveda. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only s of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SEPTEMBER 2, 1909 The board of trustees held a special meeting on Tuesday evening and extended the time for completing the street paving now under contract by the Fairchild-Gilmore-Wilton company to October 1st. Engineer Steward was instructed to prepare plans and specifications for paving Los Angeles street from Sycamore to Santa Ana street. The board gave the paving company authority to omit paving in front of property owners who have not yet signed. These people will be proceeded against later under the Vrooman act. On North Los Angeles street only two property owners are out and on East Center a bunch of five non-residents have not yet signed up. The Anaheim baseball team will cross bats with the Corona team on the local grounds on South Los Angeles street on Sunday, Sept. 5th. A good game is looked for as the ball grounds have been put in good condition. The line up of the locals will be: Huntington, pitcher; Fred Schneider, catcher; Hatfield, 1st base; Collins 2nd base; Valencia 3rd base; Fischer ss; Hendricks, lf; Bertram, cf; Wardler, rf; Spencer, sub. In August 1875 Judge Victor Montgomery bought a ranch of eighty acres along the foothills northest of Orange, now near the village of Villa Park. He cleared the cactus from the land with his own hands and in 1881 planted some Mission olive trees from the L. J. Rose ranch at San Gabriel. Later he planted other olive trees and now has about ten acres of olives. He has just sold the crop of Mission and Manzaville olives from his orchard for $2500 to the Los Angeles Olive Growers association which corporation has 1500 acres in olive orchards but without irrigation facilities. Judge Montgomery's olives are purchased for the purpose of pickling, the buyers taking the olives on the trees, gathering and No Magic In Co-op. Marketing, Claim Peck Reports Agriculture In California Has Elements of Optimism Agriculture in California has elements of optimism that are much more evident than is the case in most other agricultural sections, according to commissioner F. W. Peck, in charge of the central bank for cooperatives at Washington and the cooperative division of the farm credit administration, who spoke at a recent meeting of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. "The farm credit administration is developing a system of agricultural credit to meet today's needs of production and distribution, and doing so on a business basis of making sound loans at reasonable interest rates and with the expectation of full repayment," he said. "In addition to making loans, we have a large service and research field in which we feel that we can aid organized marketing groups." "We must all realize that no one has a recipe for guaranteeing cost of production plus a profit in agriculture. Adjustment of production and control programs must come from the people to be controlled. Federal agencies can be referees and umpires, but the people playing the game must help make the rules," said the administrator. "The cooperative method of solving today's problems is making headway when the cooperative is grower owned, grower controlled and business operated, for farm affairs need business methods," he said. Members must realize, according to Mr. Peck, that there is no magic in cooperative marketing, and that cooperatives have the same problems as private business, often with additional handicaps in the form of critical and In August 1875 Judge Victor Montgomery bought a ranch of eighty acres along the foothills northeast of Orange, now near the village of Villa Park. He cleared the cactus from the land with his own hands and in 1881 planted some Mission olive trees from the L. J. Rose ranch at San Gabriel. Later he planted other olive trees and now has about ten acres of olives. He has just sold the crop of Mission and Manzaville olives from his orchard for $2500 to the Los Angeles Olive Growers association which corporation has 1500 acres in olive orchards but without irrigation facilities. Judge Montgomery's olives are purchased for the purpose of pickling, the buyers taking the olives on the trees, gathering and shipping them at their own expense. He gives his olive trees the same attention that he does his orange and lemon trees, irrigating and cultivating them regularly, also by the use of fumigation, sprays and scutilista keeps them free from scale and smut. The quality of his olives is evidenced by the fact that the owners of a 1500 acre olive orchard came from San Fernando to buy the Judge's olives for pickling purposes. Growers representing 100 carloads of oranges met at the water office on Saturday and effected a reorganization of the local fruit association which during the past season has been out of business. The following board of directors was elected: C. O. Rust, Sam Kraemer, Wm. McLauchlin, C. E. Jones, B. W. Fletcher, W. Wuesthoff and C. E. Holcomb. C. O. Rust was elected president, Wm. Lauchlin, vice president and C. E. Holcomb secretary pro tem. Another meeting will be held at the city hall this evening when a manager will be selected who will also act as secretary. The new association will affiliate with the Semi-Tropic Exchange of Los Angeles, and will market fruit through the California Fruit Growers Exchange. It is expected next year 150 to 200 carloads of Oranges will be shipped by the association. County Clerk Williams this week received from O. M. Glodarcena of 628 Montgomery street San Francisco, the last will and testament of the late Domingo Bastanchury, deceased, who died at Fullerton last month. The will is sealed and so the contents are not made public, and it will be kept in the possession of the county clerk until a petition is filed for probating it. Sunday was the warmest day in years, the thermometer going up to 107. The heat was occasioned by electrical disturbances on the desert. Monday the weather moderated, and Tuesday it was again pleasant. We have the best climate on earth, but occasionally get a warm day in summer and this comes from Arizona. Emil Dreyfus dropped into town from San Francisco one day last week to attend to matters of business. He signed up for paving and for opening the alley in rear of his property south of Center street. He reports things in San Francisco "pretty fancy" and the town rebuilding and getting better all the time. He returned north on the evening train. Judge-Hervy Gesford of Napa was a guest of Mrs. Kellogg and family at the West End some days ago. The two families have been acquainted for half a century, and Mrs. Kellogg knew the up-country democratic leader long before he knew a thing about politics. She tells us he is going to be California's next governor. Why, Mrs. Kellogg." said the administrator. "The cooperative method of solving today's problems is making headway when the cooperative is grower owned, grower controlled and business operated, for farm affairs need business methods," he said. Members must realize, according to Mr. Peck, that there is no magic in cooperative marketing, and that cooperatives have the same problems as private business, often with additional handicaps in the form of critical and antagonistic competitors. Dairy Council Heads Meet Friday to Take Up Newest Problems Directors of California dairy council from all parts of the state will gather in Santa Rosa, Friday, August 24, for a two-day meeting. The sessions will convene in the auditorium of the Santa Rosa chamber of commerce, and Occidental hotel will be headquarters for the convention, according to W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor. The present unsettled state of the industry, the possible effects of the severe drought on state supplies and prices, the plans of the agricultural adjustment administration for the elimination of all unit dairy cattle and the payment of indemnity to the owners, will be among the highlights of the program. The division of markets of the State Department of agriculture has just completed an extensive survey of the cost of distributing fluid milk, cream and other dairy products in the Los Angeles sales area for the year 1933. The report will be presented in chart and graph form by John Marshall, Jr., who made the survey. Reports on the progress of consumer education work will be made and proposals for extending this activity will be laid before the meeting for action.
